Solar System C2C CAL

I cannot even tell you how long this CAL has taken me. I think I went in with a bit too much enthusiasm and had to trim the fat a bit just to get it finished. I started planning it last summer. Last summer, you guys. If you saw the behind the scenes of Whistle and Ivy I think you would laugh. Not a lot of professionalism going on, that is for sure. However, the finished version of this Solar System C2C graphgan turned out waaay better than my original idea. So letting it marinate (ferment is a better word) over the last 9 months has done the idea some good. I finished the final square last week, and I have been dying to get this post written so I could reveal the idea to you!

Aren’t these celestial squares fun? It has a bit of geeky flair to it. I am saving the last square as a surprise, just to keep things interesting!

Details:
The CAL starts Monday, July 24th. Don’t be concerned if you are brand new to C2C. This is the perfect project for a C2C beginner! The first square is very easy and the rest gradually grow in difficulty. I promise you won’t get overwhelmed. Plus, I have videos for the first few squares, so I know you will be able to get the hang of it!

There will be a total of 21 squares and 9 patterns, which means on most of the days, you will be working more than one of the given graph. For instance, day two will be the small planets. There are 4 small planets, so you will work 4 of the same square, using different colors to represent each planet.

Below is the list of yarns you will need. I would recommend buying the grays and yellow for sure, but you might be able to get by on some of them with scraps from your stash. Mercury, for instance, takes a very small amount of yarn, so keep that in mind when making your purchase. I tried to double-up the colors, and use them on more than one square.
Disclaimer: I will say that I don’t recommend using different brands of yarn for this project, I haven’t had great experiences doing that in the past. Keep that in mind!

LOVE this CAL! I recently finished the blocks for a two-tone blanket for one of my brothers and it came out so cool!
I REALLY like C2C hooking squares! Any kind really, but in squares it’s fun because you’re mobile AND can also create each square 🐩 differently! Witness what YOU’VE done!
Bravo! I just bought the yarn to begin. Funny that it’s a similar color, a sort of gunmetal gray background, for the series! Can’t wait to see what it looks like put together.
